Anyone Heard of These Symptoms?
Posted: 11-15-03 03:47am

My family thinks i'm crazy. I suffer from severe depression and for about the last 2 or 3 months i've had joint pain (mostly in my knees), i'm really tired all the time, like I could sleep all day and all night if I didn't have to take care of my kids, can't remember anything. I either have to write a list of everything, or do the task right at that moment or i'll forget. This just makes my depression worse because my family thinks there isn't anything wrong with me. I just want to sleep in and have them take my daughter to school or pick her up. If it was up to me I would sleep all the time. By the way, i'm a housewife, mom, my husband and I run our own business which I take care of from the house and i'm a student in a paralegal program. Could my symptoms be caused from too much stress?? I've already tried to commit suicide once a couple of years ago by overdosing and I don't want to go there again. Please help Sad

Hi There

You sound very much like my daughter. You need to get a good doctor that you are comfortable with, a good counseller who will listen.
Exercise and a good diet are vital. Get rid of negative people from your life. Its very hard for families who haven't experienced any problems, but there are lots of people out there just like you and lots of people who want to help. Be kind to yourself and don't give up. Good luck :d
